6.Scientific Interpretation Summary

Classical Ayurvedic descriptors Tikta–Kaṣāya Rasa, Laghu–Rūkṣa Guṇa, Śīta Vīrya, and Kāsa-Śvāsa hara–Raktapitta-hara Karma correlate strongly with vasicine-mediated bronchodilation, vasicinone-driven mucolytic action, and polyphenol-based anti-inflammatory mechanisms in modern pharmacology. This validates Vāsaka as a gold-standard Ayurvedic respiratory and hemostatic herb.
